n 3 of 11 Mickey, a daredevil mouse of mass M, is attempting to become the world's first "mouse cannonball." He is loaded into a spring- powered gun pointing up at some angle, and is shot into the air. The gun's spring has force constant k and is initially compressed a distance X from its relaxed position. If Mickey has a constant horizontal speed V while he is flying through the air, how high above his initial location in the gun does Mickey soar? Find an expression for Mickey's maximum height hm in terms of M, V, X, k, and g.

Physics Girl setups up an experiment with a block, spring and hill as shown below. k, x d She pushes the block (m = 3.69 kg) against the spring (k 704.2 N/m) until the spring is compressed by 37.71 cm and then lets go. The block travels along the horizontal surface which has a d = 0.91 m long rough patch (u 0.139) before encountering the frictionless ramp. The ramp is inclined at an angle of 0 = 16.1°. How far along the ramp does the block slide before coming (momentarily) to rest (i.e. what is L)? %3D NOTE: Please enter your answer with three significant figures. Do not use scientific notation.

An archery bow is drawn a distance d = 0.75 m and loaded with an arrow of mass m = 0.067 kg. The bow acts as a spring with a spring constant of k = 195 N/m, and the arrow flies with negligible air resistance. To simplify your work, let the gravitational potential energy be zero at the initial height of the arrow. a. How fast, in meters per second, will the arrow be traveling as it leaves the bow? b. If the arrow is shot at an angle of θ = 45° above the horizontal, how high, in meters above the initial height, will the arrow be when it reaches its peak?

A .500kg block attached to a spring with length .60m and force constant 40.0 N/m, is at rest with the back of the block at point A on a frictionless horizontal air table. The mass of the spring is negligible. You move the block to the right along the surface by pulling with a constant 20.0 N horizontal force. what's the block's speed when the black of the block reaches point B, which is 0.25 m to the right of point A.
It will launch a 25 g projectile to a range of 2.15 m when it is launched at an angle of 45 degrees. You can use this information to find the initial velocity of the ball, of course, (and you should). Therefore, you should be able to calculate how much energy the spring in the projectile launcher must impart to the ball as it is being launched. The ball is pushed back 7.5 cm in the projectile launcher in order to getit ready to fire. What is the spring constant of the projectile launcher?
